M-FIL/06 - HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY
Period
Sem. IA dal Sep 28, 2015 al Nov 8, 2015.
Learning outcomes
We aim at teaching the use of philosophical terminology and the critical reading of philosophical texts, in order to acquire basic philosophical matters and concepts. Also, through seminars and debates, we aim at making postgraduates to acquire a skill to cross-examination.
A general knowledge of the history of modern and contemporary philosophy (XIX and XX Centuries) is presupposed and only some points will be specifically deepened. An attention to lexical research and an interest in a critical reading of philosophical texts and to arguments are very useful.
Program
Philosophies of Dialogue.
In XXth century some thinkers and trains of thought have proposed forms of “Socratic dialogue”. It is applied in various spheres: pedagogic (J. Dewey, L. Nelson, M. Nussbaum), philosophical (M. Buber, K. Jaspers), psyco-therapeutic (V. Frankl) e in the so-called “philosophical practices” (P. Hadot, L. Marinoff). In every one of these spheres Socratic dialogue is proposed as a methodical procedure and as an existential / relational attitude which is particularly efficacious, moreover – sometimes – as the prominent form of self-care. We aim at confronting with these contemporary restarts and verify, on Plato’s Dialogues, whether and how much this procedure, to the extent that it names itself “Socratic”, is indebted to the archetypical original model. This is in turn a prominent and indispensable form of the àskesis (or “spiritual exercise”) proper to Plato’s Socrates.

Lessons will be available by e-learning.
Didactical Methods:
The course will be carried on by frontal lessons, with direct reading of the texts and following discussions. Therefore attendance at classes will be very useful and desirable, though obviously not compulsory.
The same program is valid for students who cannot attend lessons; nevertheless, they must get in touch with the teacher, in order to receive indications on adding texts, whose reading will compensate for lacking attendance: these texts will be agreed for every student, with regard to his previous knowledge, curriculum and interests.
Examination Methods
Ways of evaluation:
Some oral questions will be put to the student; he will be invited to read and comment some passages of the original texts already read together during classes.

Stage e Tirocini
Per le altre attività formative (crediti F) sono previsti 9 cfu (pari a 225 ore) da acquisire solamente attraverso l’attività di tirocinio obbligatoria, a sua volta suddivisa in:- tirocinio indiretto (1 cfu: 25 ore di frequenza obbligatoria in università per il 75%) in preparazione dell’attività formativa sul campo;
- tirocinio diretto (8 cfu), da svolgersi presso enti convenzionati.
Il tirocinio indiretto consiste in un accompagnamento iniziale delle/degli studenti da parte dei tutor attraverso un percorso di formazione della durata di 25 ore.
La finalità di questo percorso è quella di preparare le/gli studenti alla particolare forma di apprendimento costituita dal tirocinio, dotandoli di conoscenze e strumenti adeguati a osservare, comprendere e rielaborare criticamente l’esperienza di tirocinio nei servizi educativi e ad affrontare il tirocinio negli enti con metodo e consapevolezza.
Il percorso, da attuare in gruppi da 20-25 persone sotto la supervisione di un tutor proveniente dal mondo professionale di educatori e pedagogisti, risponde alle esigenze costantemente espresse sia dalle/dagli studenti stessi sia dalle parti sociali che dai referenti degli enti convenzionati.
